Well. Quite an experience. Looks like I cost myself about $500 for that XL1 repair, but it's in the shop resting and it should be fine in the end. It might even be ready for my trip next week.
In the mean time, when you see me with my cheap temporary Canon ZR60, try not to laugh too hard, 'k? And to think I did it to myself, without even having International ANSWER to blame.
Hope you all like the pictures. A whole ton of them are published at the link, so if you want more, they're there for you.
Feel free, as always, to post additional picture links and experiences on the thread!

I apologise for the lateness of this report. I spent the day finding a good repair shop for my beloved XL1 and buying a temporary substitute.
I hope you enjoy the report anyway!

PS Ron, please ping Genevieve for me; it looks like I haven't figured out how to spell her name yet :-(.

GREAT FReep REPORT, Savid!Right now, I am off to "Haunt the Hildabeast" in Pasadena:
Here the MOST CURRENT "pre-FReep in Pasadena" thread: Hillary to be at Vroman's Bookstore on June 29
Until then, would SOMEONE please save the following WONDERFUL image onto a FReeper-friendly server?
I am concerned that the A.N.S.W.E.R. RATs will delete it soon.
THANK YOU!

From the RATs' own website, at www.la.indymedia.org:
It is truly a sad commentary on the state of Los Angeles media that the ultra-left indymedia.org is more "fair and balanced" than the "mainstream media" here...
My best guess is that WE had about a hundred or two, and THEY had about a thousand or two.
More in an after action report by one of my fellow FReepers - soon...

Great pics, David! Hoping your video camera recovers soon ;-)
This rally was a circus. I still can't believe all the freaks and hippies that showed up. What was really interesting is that some of these "peace protesters" are so full of hatred. I want to know why the cops didn't make them go back to their own side of the street. It got to the point where I didn't exactly feel safe.
I'm not feeling too good this morning, so I'm not going to the Hillary book burning...errr signing event this morning. Hope someone takes pics of that!!

They're not for "peace", as you quickly found out.
The definition of "peace" in their dictionary is "the lack of opposition to Communism: and that's it. You could have millions in a gulag and if that stopped opposition to Communism, they'd declare that "peace".
